Business talks on climate during Li visit
Andrew Tillett
Foreign affairs correspondent
Chinese and Australian business chiefs will discuss deepening co-operation on climate change as part of high-level talks during the visit by Chinese Premier Li Qiang, despite global moves to lessen Beijing’s dominance in green technology.
Boosting ties in mining and energy, agriculture and services will also be high on the agenda for the seventh Australia-China CEO Roundtable in Perth on Tuesday.
The round table, facilitated by the Business Council of Australia (BCA), will bring together executives from 12 top companies from each country, before they present their findings to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Mr Li.
Australian CEOs attending will include Rio Tinto’s Kellie Parker, Wesfarmers’ Rob Scott, Fortescue’s Andrew Forrest and Qube’s Paul Digney. Other companies represented will include ANZ, BHP, BlueScope, Cochlear, Grain-Corp, King & Wood Mallesons, Monash University and Woodside.
Officials are tight-lipped on which Chinese firms will be represented, but they are expected to include a number of state-owned enterprises, including major conglomerate CITIC.
Key items on the agenda include how to create an attractive and competitive business environment for firms in both countries, and how China and Australia can deepen innovation and supply chains to jointly address global challenges such as climate change. ‘‘It’s the quality and depth of personal and business relationships that strengthens bilateral ties, and this roundtable provides an opportunity for businesses from both countries to come together and strengthen their linkages,’’ BCA chief executive Bran Black said.
‘‘More engagement is a positive thing and China is important to our economy and Australian jobs, providing a quarter of our trade, totalling almost $320 billion last year. The parameters of the bilateral relationship are, of course, set by governments, and it is then the job of businesses to work together within those guardrails to the fullest possible extent and this roundtable provides an important opportunity to help do just that.’’
Mr Li will arrive in Adelaide tomorrow. In New Zealand yesterday, he and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon oversaw the signing of agreements to build business ties.
Meanwhile, Deputy US Secretary of State Kurt Campbell revealed Mr Albanese would attend next month’s NATO summit in Washington. Dr Campbell said the leaders of the ‘‘Asia-Pacific 4’’, which includes Japan, South Korea and New Zealand, had been invited.
Sorry New Zealand , you know I do love you

There will be extension after extension...there will be no signing in my view. It is like Rattlerock on HC said...this is a tactic to show to have an option. After many months, please tell me what could be the "small issues". Only the final court decisions are left. So we wont have any finalisation in 2024 in my view. The DRC and Chinese are still fucking us over for the rest of the year and the BOD is happy month after month for receiving the paycheck.
And there will be no change with the new puppets in the DRC cabinet...

I actually had a dream last night. Like legit had a dream that dr Michael Mosley was shilling AVZ in a presentation to me.
Probably the deepest sleep and most vivid dream I've had in 2 years. Bloody bizarre..
Anyway
Here's some hypotheticall questions:
What if AVZ is a junior miner and don't have the experience or funds to get an operation of this magnitude up.and going ?
What if Cominiere and cami brought in zijin as a partner because they have the experience and dollars to get it done ?? Not debating the legality of it here.
What if AVZ blocked partnership as zijin is not a partner that AVZ wants to work with due to zijins poor history??
What if Rio Tinto is now negotiating on behalf and with AVZ as a partner in manono? Australian helping another Aussie and a company that has the clout and expertise to get a project as big as manono up and running.
What if locke funding is being delayed due to these negotiations??
Anyway thoughts I had to write down.
Back to sleep for me

Development of the Lobito corridor: Italy announces funding of $320 million
Italy commits to mobilize at least $320 million to support the development of the Lobito Corridor, a railway line that connects northeastern Zambia to the Angolan port of Lobito, passing through the DRC, thus joining the consortium led by the USA and the European Union (EU).
The announcement was made on Thursday June 13, 2024 by the head of the Italian government, Giorgia Meloni, on the sidelines of the G7 summit.
Giorgia Meloni, Italian Prime Minister
It was during the Global Infrastructure and Investment Partnership (PGI) Leaders' Forum that Italy made the commitment to promote sustainable development along the Lobito Corridor, which is an announced PGI flagship project by President Joe Biden at the 2023 G7 summit.
The new rail line aims to strengthen trade and regional growth and advance the shared vision of a connected, open-access railway from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean.
It also enables additional investments in digital connectivity, agriculture value chains, green energy supply chains and the electrification of rural health centers, among other transformative economic imperatives.
“In support of the Mattei Plan and Prime Minister Meloni's PGI, Italy has officially joined the US-EU-led consortium for the Lobito Corridor, committing at least $320 million in grants, funding equity and debt capital to finance a new 800-kilometer rail section of the planned project, the first open-access transcontinental rail network, which will help stimulate economic development,” the White House announced in a statement, stressing that the PGI continues to seek additional opportunities to connect initial Lobito Corridor investments across the continent, to Tanzania and ultimately the Indian Ocean, while creating quality jobs and improving lives.
According to the same source, the United Kingdom also announced new commitments of more than $50 million to contribute to African infrastructure and clean energy transport projects, as well as geological studies along the Lobito corridor.
For his part, President Biden highlighted the progress made in the PGI economic corridors which, according to him, reflect how the US government is working with its partners to stimulate infrastructure investments in emerging markets, emphasizing emphasis on the development of strategic economic corridors for multi-sectoral impact in all countries.
In October 2023, the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) joined the United States and the European Union in supporting Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia in development. of the Lobito Corridor and the new Zambia-Lobito railway line, by signing a memorandum of understanding between seven parties, on the sidelines of the “Global Gateway” forum in Brussels, Belgium.
The MoU highlights the signatories' intention to collaborate across multiple sectors to realize the full economic potential of the corridor, building on the agreement on the Lobito Corridor Transit Transport Facilitation Agency , signed by the three African governments in January 2023, and anchored by the historic investment envisaged in the development of the brand new Zambia-Lobito railway line.

It was showing as scheduled for Monday 10am as late as yesterday morning when I looked, so looks like its been dropped (as widely expected)
Correct me if I'm wrong @Mr_Tones83 but if it had been rescheduled, it would still show up on the search, as it did last time?

The list was emailed to me last night by the WA courts however it’s possible it had been prepared earlier in the day. When I searched the wa e-courts portal this morning it only showed listings for 15 June, so I’ll try again tomorrow after 4:30 pm (in case it updates automatically)
. I wonder how many offers they’ll get … I’d guess not many
